Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00050 | $0.01127 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00025 | $0.00563 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00225 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00113 |
Grade A, and why
overcast-stakeout scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
overcast-stakeout
Use this skill when the task is to sit on a target and catch new media as it is
published (a "stakeout"), rather than a one-shot recon pass. Use the broad
overcast skill and overcast/reference/verbs.md for exact flags. Only start a
continuous loop when the user asks for ongoing monitoring.
Workflow
- Set the standing scope. As new media arrives, matches auto-suggest leads —
score/text triggers (a
face≥75 match, animageRANSAC hit,similar≥85,cluster≥70, or a text target thewatch/listentext mentions) emitstatus:"suggested"findings that queue for triage (out of ask/brief until reviewed).--findings suggestis the default; pair it with--auto-sense watch:
overcast doctor --sources --json
overcast case init --json
overcast case setup --name stakeout --target "<name / plate / phrase>" --source "x:@handle,youtube:@channel" --auto-sense watch --findings suggest --yes --json
- Sanity pass — one diff cycle, scheduler-friendly, to confirm sources resolve before you leave a loop running:
overcast monitor --once --pipe watch --json
- Stand the watch up. Run the continuous loop under tmux;
--alertmirrors new records to a sink and--briefsummarizes each batch:
overcast monitor --every 15m --limit 5 --pipe watch --alert ./stakeout.jsonl --brief --json
- Work the triage queue as leads accrue —
finding list --state triageshows the suggested leads awaiting review;acceptpromotes a lead to evidence (it enters ask/brief),dismissblocks it (never re-suggested for that match, but still auditable):
overcast finding list --state triage --json
overcast finding accept <finding-id> --json
overcast finding dismiss <finding-id> --json
- Keep the control-room wall up as the visual surface — every case video muted and looping at its best evidence moment, freshest first, auto-restarting:
overcast wall --refresh 60 --theme csi --json
overcast wall --source x --since 24h --theme csi --json # scope to one feed / window
overcast brief --export ./stakeout.html --json # periodic cited report
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

overcast-stakeout is a skill published in the GitHub repository kdr/overcast (16 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 1,127 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
